How will Apple fix this?

It seems to me that from reading all the discussions and posts of different people who have the phone already, the main and consistent problem the the ios4 is the reception due to the antenna and design of the phone. There are other problems people are having with the phone, however, not everybody is having those problems. Some people aren't having problems at all, with the exception of signal reception.
My question is what would apple do to fix this? Besides purchasing a bumper, is there any other solution, besides move a little this way or that to improve signal and keep ya hand off certain places on the phone? Or will Apple just let it ride because they know people will still continue to buy it? Thoughts??

“I am honestly thinking about returning the phone number but can’t let go of the crisp display.”
And THIS is exactly why Steve can get away with such an outrageous statement. What other manufacturer would have the big brass ones to even HINT that a phone that drops calls when handled is somehow the fault of the consumer? And yet this company will continue to bask in the glow of this phone that “changes everything, again”. Who would have thought we would be going beyond the days of the hand-held cell phone? Perhaps this is similar to how we’re moving beyond the days of the pc (daily pc worldwide sales and current 20% growth figures notwithstanding)….
The bottom line is shame on us as early adopters. Any of us with experience owning Apple portable devices have no grounds for complaint- this isn’t the first time we’ve been given such a lesson in paternalism by the lord of form-over-function (nothing new, btw, see Apple III). As long as we continue to drink the kool-aid why expect anything to change?

  • Sleep/lock button has broke, will Apple fix this?

    So my lock/power/sleep button has decided to break. I cannot get it to work no matter how hard I press on the button.
    It has NOT been dropped, exposed to water or humdity of any kind.
    My question is, will Apple fix this for me or replace my iPhone 4? I have scheduled an appointment at the closest store for Monday as it was the earliest I could be seen and I am still under warranty.
    Many thanks for any potential help.

    Thank you for your help, it is definitely under warranty as I used the online checker and I only bought it January.
    I will ensure that I back it up before I go, would it be wiser to delete my content off the phone as well?

  • Facetime Camera not working for Google Hangouts due to recent update. Will Apple fix this problem?

    Hi,
    My FaceTime camera no longer works in Google hangouts due to a recent update from Apple. Will Apple fix this bug soon? Unfortunately, I do not have time machine.

    I am having the same problem. Can this be fixed?

  • In mountain lion, my avchd folders are QuickTime files. Why and when will Apple fix this?

    I recently noticed that in mountain lion, when I insert the such card from my camera, the avchd folders that used to exist in previous operating systems are now QuickTime files.  If I wish to see what I could see in previous operating systems by simply selecting the folder, I now have to bring up the context menu and choose to show package contents.  This should not be this way and it really gets old fast when you need to go down several levels.
    Is Apple aware of this?   Did Apple do this ridiculous thing on purpose?  Will Apple fix this?

    Such = SDHC
    Sorry, Apple thought it knew better than I what I wanted to type.

    will apple fix this issue free of charge? it seems that it is a known issue
    my IMAC will not start at all.i press the power button and nothing happens and i bought it a year ago. i tried everything but it seems that it is a know problem reported by other users

    You still haven't provided any useful information, the  machine has a 1 year warranty and if it's less than 1 year old you can still buy AppleCare. If it is over 1 year old then you have missed your opportunity and will have to pay for any repairs. Known issues may only be known to you and a few others, it may not be wide spread at all. When posting you have to be very specific, we have no idea what you are thinking and cannot see or touch your machine so you have to be much more descriptive.
    Good luck,
    I'd recommend contacting your local Apple Store or AASP today and begin getting the machine fixed.

  • Will Apple fix this?

    Hello, I want to know if Apple would fix my Mini display port FOR FREE since it won't show the correct resolutions to any monitor I connect it too, the reason I ask if it will be free is because i didn't get the apple care
    This is the "13 Aluminum macbook 2.0ghz model

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Highly unlikely unless the machine is under an exchange/repair program for the issue or your machine is under a year old. Though sometimes Genius bars have been lenient. Before pursuing that course, what is your Machine ID (i.e. MacBook 4,1) as it appears in your System Profiler in Apple menu -> About this Mac -> More info. This might tell us if you simply have gotten the wrong cable or TV to get the resolutions you desire.

  • Shattered Display screen. Will Apple fix this with no AppleCare?, Shattered Display screen. Will Apple fix this with no AppleCare?

    I have a 13 inch MacBook Pro that is two years old. I tripped today and dropped it walking down my hardwood stairwell. Will Apple still be willing to fix it with no AppleCare protection?

    Sure, you'll just have to pay.
    FYI:
    You'd have to pay even if you had AppleCare, as such damage is not covered by warranty or AppleCare.

  • When will Apple Fix this 3.1 problem???

    I've got all the same issues with the 3.1 as most do, "failed" calls, battery life, etc. Phone was just fine before 3.1 update... This is just terrible, as I make a living with the phone...I've called apple and went through all the fixes that didn't work... What now?

    While talking on the phone, the conversation dies for a period of a couple seconds every 45 seconds or so despite having full bars... The frequency of that type of blackout increases until finally the call "fails" after about 15 minutes. After the first fail, it will fail more frequently following that until I restart the phone... Always with full bars and in areas I've never had that happen. Happens on 8 of 10 phone calls or so. Prior to 3.1 update, I believe I've only had 1 failed call since feb 09 when I got the phone... may be two... I've had dozens and dozens since update last thursday.
    Battery life must be 50% of what it used to be a week ago. Talk time in particular has gone down the drain:(
    Voicemail box no longer works right. I delete on the iphone, but it won't delete in the "real" mail box, so my mail box is filling up despite visual VM being empty.
    Those are the big issues...
    I called apple twice. Per apple recommendation, I did a "restore" function on the phone through itunes (from an Imac). Have also synced several times since. Problems not resolved. Reboot phone multiple times. Another "restore" through itunes per apple tech. Call ATT, they had me reset network settings and changed a couple things. They looked for a tethering patch under profile that they said caused a lot of problems with 3.1. I didn't have that patch so there was nothing to remove... After ATT changes, problems still present...
    I'm open to ideas and I'm certainly no pro with the iphone... Wish I could get 3.0 back that's for sure...
    Thanks!

  • Utube wifi dropout - Will Apple fix this via IOS update?

    Utube Wifi drop-out seems to be a common problem. My wifi connection on the new iPad is rock steady like the old, that is until I try Utube HD then it'is time for drop-outs galore and 'no connection' messages. Is this something Apple are going to fix?

    This is a user to user technical help forum. No one here knows what Apple will do or will not do.
    Reporting your problem to Apple support would be the thing to do.

  • UPDATE to iTunes fail - Should I just get rid of my ipod or will apple fix this?

    Can someone tell me why iTunes will not display all of the audiobooks that are in my library?
    The files are in the library, but I could not access them.
    I found a temporary fix, BUT that fix does not give me confidence that iTunes has not killed some of my files so that I have to re-download or re-purchase them.
    I reload my entire library after this update so that I could see the files I wanted to use.
    The result of the reload is that I now have THREE libraries where I had ONE before.
    Now I have to go back manually and check to make sure that ALL of my files are accessible though iTunes and remember which library has what artists or books.
    So, short of manually listing my files and checking them one by one in iTunes, I can't add a library that is located in one folder without having THREE libraries show up on iTunes.
    I thought that the point of iTunes was to keep your files in one easily accessible place.

    I'd suggest you keep some sort of wired usb keyboard handy -- other than your Apple Alu model. The _startup modifier_ keys on the Apple Aluminum keyboard are widely reported not to work with the Mini, but just about any other usb keyboard will work.
    Apple has had plenty of time to issue a fix (if this were possible) -- and since they haven't come up with a fix, it seems likely that there is no fix possible.

  • MBP Warping above CD Bay -- Will Apple Fix this?

    As the title says. I've had it since January, and it's starting to warp down right above the CD Bay. It's getting bigger and I'm actually starting to believe it is eventually going to warp so far it affects the CD Bay's use-ability.
    Is this covered under AppleCare? I've babied this machine, and it is in perfect condition except for the warping.
    Additionally, the lid and right above the lath is starting to Warp to... I love the machine but the cases seem to be total crap.
    Thanks,
    Alex

    They get pretty warm inside. Take it in and get it looked at. They should fix that.

  • HT4623 Ever since I updated to 6.0.2 on my iphone5 the battery drains out at lightspeed. it won't last a full day on stand-by which is not normal at all. Will apple fix this soon?

    Apple: Please update the iOS and fix the battery issue. My brand new iphone5 went from lasting 3 days to lasting 18 hours or standby. You've introduced a battery bug in there as you tried to fix the Wifi issue. thanks.

    Unless Apple replaced your battery, and it appears they didn't, you're pretty much on your own now. Have you tried going back to whoever replaced your battery? That's gonna be your only choice now, because if a third-party replaced your battery, Apple won't touch your phone now.

  • Will Apple fix the iOS 5.1 battery drain issue?

    People keep giving battery saving solutions to the iOS 5.1 battery drain problem but that is not the issue.  With iOS 5.0 battery life was terriable. Apple quickly fixed it with 5.01.  Now with 5.1 battery life is back to terrible.  I could go at least two days without a charge.  After the update (and all my patterns and behaviors being the same), I don't even get a full day!  Apple needs to fix this! Or allow us to go back to iOS 5.01.  Will Apple fix this and if so how soon can we expect a solution?

    Yes, you need to setup the phone as new.  I understand your issues on the whole process of setting everything from scratch, I'm afraid that's the only way out.  However, if you look closely, on the whole, it boils down to following issues only.
    Contacts - You will get this back once you setup your iCloud account on the phone so it shouldn't be a great issue.
    Apps - Do a transfer purchase to your mac/pc before going for firmware complete reset, once you set the phone as new, you can always sync back the apps. This beats the inapp things like game levels, or your pdf docs synced earlier.  iBooks can be restored, otherwise enable document and files backup to iCloud in settings before resetting the phone, then you can get everything back from iCloud.
    Mails - If you have a mac you can keep all your mail accounts configured on Mail.app, post install you can bring them back from Mail.app to phone easily; otherwise, I'm afraid you need to do everything manually
    Settings - you will have to setup your wifi configuration, VPN if any manually from the scratch
    Dispite all the hasseles listed above, the battery fix would be a hot sun on the face in a winter day.  Go for it!
